EU Court Sides With European Citizens in Settlement Trade Case
Ivar Ekeland, President of AURDIP, declared: “The case in question is emblematic of the hostility of governments to citizen initiatives. A group of EU citizens called on the European Commission to pas a law banning commerce with Israeli settlements. The Commission used a specious argument to declare the initiative inadmissible. Once more this shows the extent to which our governments are cut off from the wishes of their populations and dominated by political and industrial lobbies. This growing disconnect can only lead to political upheaval.”
The president of AFPS taken in custody: he must be released immediately
The AURDIP stands together with Bertrand Heilbronn, President of the Association France-Palestine Solidarité (AFPS), and with all those who went to the demonstration today. It was scheduled for 4pm, but the decision to forbid it was notified only at 1pm, when most of the participants were already on the way. Moreover, no incident of any kind occured during the standoff with the police. But when it comes to suppressing expressions of solidarity with the Palestinian people, no holds are barred. In that case, as in so many others, our government meets legitimate demands, grounded in law and simple decency, with repression. What is happening now in Jerusalem, Gaza or Lod is the outcome of years of military occupation and apartheid, and by pretending to ignore that reality our government just makes the situation worse. The AURDIP will keep demanding the implementation of international law in Palestine, the end of colonization and the murderous blockade of Gaza. We will participate in all actions organized towards that end and we demand the immediate release of Bertrand Heilbronn.
